Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Rehabilitation of tooth wear is a continuing challenge in dentistry. Various techniques and materials have been developed to achieve aesthetic and functional results, with composite resins as an effective option. These allow the restoration of vertical dimension and improve dental function and aesthetics in a conservative manner, preserving the remaining dental structure. Objective: To present a clinical case demonstrating the use of composite resins to attain significant improvement in function and aesthetics, highlighting their effectiveness as a conservative option in the treatment of tooth wear. Case presentation: A 59-year-old female patient presented to a university dental clinic in Lima, Peru. Clinical examination revealed tooth wear on the anterior teeth, affecting aesthetics and masticatory function. With a detailed treatment plan that included composite resins and vertical dimension modification, dental function and aesthetics were restored, preserving the natural teeth and reaching occlusal aesthetic balance. Conclusions: Composite resin rehabilitation is an effective, conservative and economical method for treating tooth wear.
